The Envelope SUSTAIN PEDAL Parameter
This Parameter determines whether or not the Sustain Pedal of a MIDI controller will
affect the Envelope. As you can imagine, when set to
nothing. When set to
one of two ways depending on the Value of the Envelope Trigger Parameter:
If the Envelope Trigger Parameter is set to
Sustain Pedal is depressed, the Envelope will jump to and remain in the Sustain stage
of the Envelope until either the Sustain Decay reaches 00 or the Sustain Pedal is
released.
If the Envelope Trigger Parameter is set to
Sustain Pedal is depressed, the Envelope will continue through its Attack and Decay
stages and then remain in the Sustain stage of the Envelope until either the Sustain
Decay reaches 00 or the Sustain Pedal is released.
Note that if the Envelope Gate Time exceeds the duration that the Sustain Pedal is
depressed, the Gate Time Value will keep the Envelope in the Sustain stage until the
Gate Time is exhausted. Similarly, if the time that the Sustain Pedal is depressed
exceeds the Gate Time Value, the Envelope will remain in the Sustain stage until the
Sustain Pedal is released.
The Envelope LEVEL Parameter
This Parameter sets the overall output level of the Envelope. If the Envelope Level is
set to a Value of 00, the Envelope will have no output and subsequently no effect. If
the Envelope Level is set to a Value of 99, it will have the maximum effect on the
Function it modulates.
The Envelope VELOCITY MODULATION Parameter
This Parameter only exists in the Pitch Envelope and the Filter Envelope (not in the
Amplitude Envelope). In the display, it is referred to as
Envelope and
Parameter determines how incoming velocity will affect the Envelope level. When set
to a Value of 99, incoming velocity will dramatically increase the Envelope's output –
notes played hard will deliver a higher Envelope output than notes played soft.
When set to a Value of 00, incoming velocity will have no effect on the Envelope's
output level. When set to a Value of -99, incoming velocity will have an inverse effect
on the Envelope; that is, the harder the hit, the lower the Envelope output level.
Note that if the Envelope Level Parameter is set to a Value of 99, a positive Value of
any sort for the Envelope Velocity Modulation Parameter will have no effect because
the Envelope is already set to its maximum output. To use this Parameter effectively,
lower the Envelope Level Parameter proportionate to the Envelope Velocity
Modulation Parameter so that their combined Value does not exceed 99. Combined
values above 99 will simply be treated as 99, and your dynamic range will be
reduced.
